Doug Ford won his only Masters, three strokes ahead of runner-up Sam Snead, a three-time champion.

Five-time British Open winner Peter Thomson was fifth, his best career finish in the Masters.

Two-time champion Ben Hogan had finished in the top ten in the last fourteen Masters that he had entered, but had 32 putts on Friday and missed the event's first-ever cut by a stroke.

[5][6] It was the only cut he missed at Augusta; in nine more Masters he had three top ten finishes, including his final appearance at age 54 in 1967.
